BlackRock’s official 2026 Chairman’s Letter page contains the quoted passage at lines 191-193, and the official PDF contains the same wording at page 4, lines 261-269; the ellipses in the stored quote are faithful omissions, not alterations. The page is titled “Larry Fink’s 2026 Annual Chairman’s Letter to Investors” and signed “Laurence Fink,” so the attribution to Larry Fink is correct, and the stored source URL is the correct page. A reliable secondary citation dates this BlackRock letter to March 23, 2026, and I found no conflicting canonical values.

Disputed
BlackRock’s 2026 Chairman’s Letter by Larry Fink does contain closely related text at the cited URL, but the submitted quote is not verbatim. The letter says, "But history suggests that transformative technologies create enormous value..." and later, after intervening sentences, "AI may accelerate this trend further. The companies with the data, infrastructure, and capital to deploy AI at scale are positioned to benefit disproportionately." Because the supplied version omits words and intervening text without marking omissions, it is materially altered rather than an exact quote.

Quote attributed to Larry Fink (Chairman and CEO of BlackRock), year 2026. The BlackRock source URL returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but a web search confirmed the quote verbatim from Fink's 2026 annual chairman's letter (released March 23, 2026): "The companies with the data, infrastructure, and capital to deploy AI at scale are positioned to benefit disproportionately," within his broader argument that AI's value accrues to the companies that build/deploy it and the investors who own them, risking a "K-shaped" wealth gap. The quote supports the idea that AI-leading companies capture a disproportionate share of economic value, consistent with the "for" vote on "The first company or companies to develop AGI could gain control over a majority of economic activity." Author attribution, year, relevancy, and vote direction all check out.
